[Verse 1]
C            D/F#        C           D/F#
Are there no blinders on lights that blare
      C  D/F#           C  D/F#
White noise on the eyes
     C           D/F#       C          D/F#
From gas station lots and reflected ice -- glare
        C          D/F#        C    D/F#
So that I can walk home by moonlight -- alone
C    D/F#    C    D/F#


[Verse 2]
   C         D/F#     C            D/F#
Or can we go out to where the wind howls
    C      D/F#    C         D/F#
And stand alee against the trees
        C           D/F#           C            D/F#
They've grown up so tall that you can't see the house
        C       D/F#          C         D/F#    G
It's a fortress now but you know how it used to be


[Chorus 1]
G       C D      G              C       D
  I can lie to myself and say I like it
G              C     D     C      D/F#
  But I would love it if you were here
C  D/F#
C  D/F#
C  D/F#


[Verse 3]
      C        D/F#  C          D/F#
These words on paper smell like you
  C   D/F#    C              D/F#
Associated in random thought
C     D/F#     C          D/F#
On my lips the words turn blue
C  D/F#    C D/F#  G
Evanescent feeling lost


[Chorus 2]
G       C D      G              C       D
  I can lie to myself and say I like it
G              C     D      G          C  D
  But I would love it if you were here
G          C D       G              C    D
  I'm just sad for myself because I know you're clear
G              C     D     C      D/F#
  But I would love it if you were here
C  D/F#
C  D/F#
C  D/F#


[Verse 4]
C          D/F#    C            D/F#
I can just see you show me your gardens
  C                  D/F#      C             D/F#
I thought you'd grow roses and grapes on low vines
  C         D/F#          C            D/F#
I wanted to know you when we were both older
  C                  D/F#          C  D/F#   G
I thought there'd be more of those wonderful times


[Chorus 3]
G       C D      G              C       D
  I can lie to myself and say I like it
G              C     D      G          C  D
  But I would love it if you were here
G          C D       G              C    D
  I'm just sad for myself because I know you're clear
G              C     D     C      D/F#
  But I would love it if you were here


[Outro]
C  D/F#
        You were here
C  D/F#
        Yes, you were
C  D/F#
        Yes, you were
C  D/F#
